But none of them have me jumping up and down. I've tried various combinations to find something more suitable here on ProZ but again nothing that seems to capture the sense of this. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Explanation:Another idea. Many translators go for a literal translation, especially when the emphasis is on study and experimentation. You don't always have to translated it the same way.
However:
'“Ricerca artistica” is an expression that has always given me problems and I have yet to find a translation from Italian to English that I really like.', that goes for me too.

I come across this all the time "ricerca architettonica" "ricerca artistica" etc. All it means is "work". As with all kinds of work, it's implicit that thought, effort, and experimentation are involved.

Asker: Hi, Tom. Thanks for your contribution. It's possible that I'm overanalyzing the expression and that it might be as simple as just translating it as "work". But reducing "ricerca artistica" to "work" alone seems to leave out all the thought, effort, and experimentation that an artist goes through to arrive at creating his/her work. Maybe the problem is that the meaning is not so succinct in English as it is in Italian. In any case, you've given me food for thought.
